How to 'Send' Random Key?

[Takeshi]

Hello,

I am trying to make my AutoIt script send a random key between 1 to 5.

I have tried something along the lines of

set $x = Random (1,5,1)
Send ("{$x}")

but that doesnt work. Please help.

'Inline' variable substitution is not enabled by default. The 'proper' way would be using the string concatenation operator:

Send("{"&Random(1,5,1)&"}")

In fact, from your example, I can infer you have not checked the documentation at all. There is no 'Set' keyword. To declare variables, you use Global, Local or Dim.

Thank you.

In my autoit script, i haven't put set. I'm just use to typing set before a variable because of some other language. I havent made that mistake in my autoit scripts tho.
